Ye Olde Tie in The Political Machine Stardock Forums

I managed this gem in a game, ended up winning with Klinton. First time this has happened to me. Anyone else managed this? How about more than once? Is it an auto-win I wonder? Or is there like a coinflip algorithm? IRL, the newly-elected congress votes by state (each state gets one vote, the congresspeople vote to decide the outcome of each state)to decide the winner. EDIT: Oddly enough, even tho the game decided me as the winner, the win did not count towards the achievements in steam. Very

[quote who="liberalsentinel" reply="12" id="3200207"]So, where did DC's electoral votes go? What happens in the game if there is a tie[/quote] The House elects the President (through a special process, not a floor vote) and then the Senate elects the Vice President. Well, that's how it is supposed to happen in real life anyway. And yea DC needs to be added.

Tho I'm able to tab out fine and see that it's only using a little over a gig of RAM as far as the program itself goes in process management.

I've experienced issues similar to this as well. It seemed like the issues like the bank bailout, and others only reversed themselves late into the game.

Was rather bummed out as well, no campaign and no historical figures to unlock in said campaign.

strange stuttering and glitches / bugs in TPM Support PolMach Forums

I'm getting some strange stuttering on my pc, as well as bugs and glitches where my opponent will move but the animation is only the plan hanging in mid-air for the remainder of the game. These occurances seem to only happen towards the end of the 121 turn map. Have not tried any other length of game, but I will let you know.

So I preordered the game, downloaded it just now, start playing and saw that Florida was listed as still having 27 Electoral Votes. What gives? Devs miss the 2010 Census? 10 States lost Electorial delegates, while 8 States gained delegates. Please change accordingly.
